Known Issues

1. Test & Assessment / Survey RBAC patch

Adding new questions from within a test / survey generates a list of available question pools to store the question. This list is generated by compiling question pools with read permission for the active user instead of write permission.

To fix this, please download the following patch file. It contains the files class.ilObjQuestionPool.php, class.ilObjTest.php class.ilObjTestGUI.php, class.ilObjSurveyQuestionPool.php, class.ilObjSurvey.php, class.ilObjSurveyGUI.php. Please make a backup copy of the existing files Modules/TestQuestionPool/classes/class.ilObjQuestionPool.php, Modules/Test/classes/class.ilObjTest.php, Modules/Test/classes/class.ilObjTestGUI.php, Modules/SurveyQuestionPool/classes/class.ilObjSurveyQuestionPool.php, Modules/Survey/classes/class.ilObjSurvey.php, Modules/Survey/classes/class.ilObjSurveyGUI.php and move the patch .php files into the related directories and overwrite the original files.
